hmmm. i didn’t see anything wrong with the guy tryin’ to milk his celebrity for money. most of those reality shows are staged, or have heavily staged elements. the mystery method – it’s a little too fake and insincere for me, you gotta be a social-type, bullshitter, nightclub, fakeroo, to pull that stuff off ( but there is a lot to be learned pyschology-wise that can benefit your own style). i like the gunwitch approach better – lonewolf ‘em.

“Hey Heather if you wanna *fuck* my aim id is shawnmichael25@yahoo.com”
Amirite? Betcha he had an instant boner cuz he saw a chick (’s name) in the comments.
By the way it’s kinda funny cuz my computer just read out your comment with
the *Heather* voice (TTS engine) developed by Acapela Telecom.
If you think Mystery is a joke, then I’ve got something to show ya.

OMG! Forget Kosmo! He’s whatever, but all I have to say is … WHO THE HECK IS MYSTERY and why is he the pickup artist? What girl wants to date a guy that wears a furry top hat and goggles to the club? Not to mention his retarded skin tight see through tops… hhaha.. I get angry every time the show comes on becuase his dating tips are soooo LAME! Like seriously.. are there really guys out there who believes in him and takes his advices?.. If so, please don’t .. YOU WILL NEVER GET CHICKS THAT WAY~… haha

Kosmo is’nt that good of an actor or he would of already bad it big
instead he tried out for casting like most aspiring wanna be actors do and got on the show…most people who are on reality TV are people who persui acting i dont go around searching for casting calls n shit

C’mon now..it’s obvious from what he said that he wanted to make some money out of this convo. with Donovan….I don’t think People on this web site would have used it for money making..it’s silly even to mention that…His behavior wasn’t absolutely even close to what a MPUA would of said or done….he looks like an immature actor…and he needs aloooot of work on his inner game.

If you want to break it down into dollars and cents then I ask you this:

Are you making money on this site?
With Kosmo’s interview would you have provided content on your site that would have made you money?
So if you are profiting off of Kosmo’s interview, why shouldn’t he?

Listen it’s not like he asked you for 10k to do a sit down conversation, he simply asked what he could back for his time.

His response was just a little strange is all. All the interview would have done was publicize him even more.

Hey Donovan..sup man?
I think Kosmo’s reply to Donovan was greedy n sick…uh well..his loss..

I find it touching how Kosmo transformed from the cocky outgoing guy seen 30 seconds into his acting reel, into the shy wallflower seen in the first episode and then back into a confident outgoing guy at the end. No fakery there surely.

Well, we all know he’s no celebrity. Neil Strauss did an interview with me without charging. Let’s be honest, he’s agent hasn’t received thousands of similar interview requests. Perhaps requests to get him to stop breakdancing any chance he gets. Check out his acting reel – horrible.

Look when you want to interview a “celebrity” you have to pay. That’s how it goes. It’s good journalism that you managed to get his e-mail address rather than his agents but I’m surprised he actually talked to you without just passing you off to his agent who’s undoubtably revieved thousands of similar interview requests.

I don’t neccessarily think Kosmo is a fraud, but the show could have been more honest. I “get” that it’s show business and a certain degree of showmanship and intensity is required, but… to hire actors? Is Kosmo’s victory real or was it staged from the beginning?

Kosmo sounds like a greedy SOB, but not a fraud. And let’s face it, everybody who knows even a little game immediately tries to sell it.

You should have told him the interview would show up on your site before the final episode and not after it. That way the interview would be to promote the season finale and there might have been some contractual obligation for him to do it.

As it was, I would have offered him an opportunity for him to plug whatever he wanted at the end of the interview (links to his MySpace profile, acting profile and contact info, etc.) That’s standard.

If that wasn’t enough for him, so be it. That’s his choice. You should understand how it is as a webmaster who gets tons of email from people trying to get you to promote their product or spend your time answering their questions for free. You only promote the products you are an affiliate of and get revenue for promoting. In the same fashion, why should he do a free interview for a site that would ultimately gain revenue from the interview?

I think he handled the interaction just fine and it is no reflection on the legitimacy of the show.

Kosmo doesn’t understand the economics or marketing of the pickup industry. He should do an interview on your site and similar publicity work for free, then try to sell the guys on his ebook or $300 CD/DVD course. That’s the way the system works. Kosmo may have learned pickup, but he needs David Deangelo to explain to him how internet marketing works.

Come on its all rigged. Maybe spoon and pradeep were real, but Brady’s a male model, and Joe W. is a gay male model, and of course Cosmo has been an actor and male model for some time now.

Yeah right, these guys have problems dealing with people (especially women), sure. Male models always have trouble getting dates.

Its a shame we males prey on each other, but we do it all the time, which is why on the dating sites males spam other males with fake female IM’s, and male hucksters trick other males into buying expensive dating seminars and books.

Thanks for sharing that email, Donovan.

For me personally, it just goes to show what the nature of greed is. I mean, the guy won how many dollars? 50.000?

And instead of giving something back to the community he asks for even more…….

On him winning, it’s not very encouraging for average-looking guys. I think he was the most natural of the guys, the best-looking and definitely not the one who picked up most of Mystery technique-wise.
